Emperor Akbar's Bonbon Book.

Of all the Mogul emperors Akbar was
by far the ablest and greatest, but Shah
Jehan was the most magnificent The
Emperor Akbar succeeded to the throne
when he was but ID years of age, with
only the Punjab under his rule. He had
the wisdom to show no distinction between
his Mohammedan and Hindoo subjects, and
made every effort to mold them into COM
mon nationality. Born on Indian soil, he
made every effort to give the country
of his birth what she has never had, a
nationality. He even went so far as only
to marry into the families of the royal
Hindoos His military success was re-
markable, and at his death almost all
of India was firmly secured to his empire
He loved and favored his friends, but had
no use for those who proved themselves
his enemies. His double sided box of
bonbons is a matter of history. No one
dared to refuse the great emperor when he
was offered q bonbon from this well
known box, although none could tell
whether it was an evidence Of favor or of
displeasure until after it had been eaten
A bonbon from one side of the box meant
favors of no mean kind, while one from
the other side meant q sudden drowsiness,
soon resulting in the sleep of death. 1t
has been said that he came to his own
death by accidentally eating a bonbon
from the wrong side of his box.-India

Prices Paid to DOCTOR.

The public often marvels at the prices
paid by rich persons for art objects.
Greater surprise might be caused by the
sums to physicians for the preservation of
health. 1t has been said that Miss Wolfe,
the hopeless invalid owner of $40, 900, 000
pays DR.. Tod Helmuth So, 600 year to
doctor her. She confirms those f1guges.
Mrs. Alexander T. Stewart retained three
doctors at an aggregate cost of at least
$40, 900, and called in one of them nearly
every day. She had what seemed like a
system by which she. Abided by, the de-
cision of two out Of three in matters Of diet
and medicines. Mrs. William Aston pays
to DR.. Fordyce Barker personally an aver
age of $50, 000-always sending a check
for double or treble the amount of each
bill rendered Her idea is that, by re-
warding his skill and vigilance literally,
she viii get the very best service of which
he is capable. Mrs. Cornelius Wander
bits physician is DR.. w. S. Be1den, and
although her health is excellent, he is
consulted often-prevention being prefer
able to cure, doubtless; and the belief is
that the prevention costs not less than
$4,000 annually Clara Bellies Letter.

Old Silas Barber is dead, and his last
words were: Don't let any thlstles grow
upon my grave"
The announcement of his death VIII
cause universal regret all over Ohio,
where he was so well known.
Since the days of Johnny Appleseed,
Silas Barber has had more friends than
hundreds who have given him something
to eat out of pity or charity.
For half a century he had wandered
through this state. His last days he
spent in the Seneca county poor house.
He was well known all over Wood, Erie,
Lucas, Sandusky and Hancock counties.
He hes no relatives in the world, and no
one can tell where he came from, although
there is a local tradition that he came
from Canada all alone in boat more than
fifty years ago.
He had but one mission, one object, on
earth, and that was to exterminate all
kinds of thistles. For the entire half cen
fury he never relented Ia his warfare upon
these enemies of the farmer. From dawn
to darkness, with scythe, gruband hoe, he
cut out and killed them. No one could tell
how he lived; he refused pay for his
work, and none of the farmers could i'm
pose on him, for he would not work unless
he could cut the thistles.
In winter it was noticed that he mi
grated with the birds southwark, but
back he would come with the thlst1eS
again in the spring. He had one other
failing He imagined, sometimes, that he
was a great general; at other times he
thought that he was an officer Of the law,
with full power to make arrests.
Years ago some practical joker sent him
with orders to arrest the chief Of police at
Tiffin By pretense he succeeded in get
ting the chief of police to show him into
the interior of the Jail. He then read an
imaginary warrant and locked the police
captain up in cell for a long time.
1t was more common practice to in
duce him to arrest some country swain who
was counting his sweetheart. Armed with
his imaginary warrant he would force his
way into the presence of the loving couple,
and in spite of tears, protestations and en-
treaties he would make the arrest. He
would walk dozen miles to arrest any
man, and more than once has he aided the
police and constables in discharging their
duties.
Judges, preachers, congressman, whose
early homes were in Sandusky county, or
Seneca, tell amusing stories Of how "Old
Silas'' captured them. When the forest
roads were fenced up Silas Barber did not
approve of it. He would tear down rods
of the fencing in order that his favOrite
thistle fields might remain open and the
common property of the whole world.
But the farmers always forgave him the
mischief for the good that he wrought.
Conductors were kind to him and all the
railroads in northwestern Ohio gave him
free rides over the roads.-Toledo Blade.

Worry, Not Work, Kills.

''The great man, says Emerson, els he
who in the midst of the crowd keeps with
perfect sweetness the serenity of solitude. :"
elbow many of the troubles of hfe,'' asks
Sir John Lubbock, ''are Insignificant in
themselves and easily avoidable?'' It is
not so much, in most cases, great sorrows,
diseases or death, but rather the little
daily dyings which cloud over the sum
shine of life. We most of us give ourselves
an immense amount Of trouble, incumber
ourselves, as it were, on the journey of
life with a dead weight of unnecessary
baggage. In that most delightful fairy
tale, ''Alice in Wonderland, the White
Knight is described as having provided
himself on starting for journey with a
variety of odds and ends, including a
mousetrap, in case he was troubled by
mice at night, and beehive, in case he
came across q swarm Of bees.-Home

Royal Hawaiian Agricultural society

We have to call attention to the pro-
gramme issued by the Royal Hawaiian
Agricultural Society for its show at the
Government Nursery, King street, on
Saturday next It is to be hoped that
the exhibits will be fairly representative
of the productions, natural and manu-
featured, of the Kingdom. Having
spoken at length in previous issues of
the Importance of this show, the only
thing left for us to do in this connection
is to again call attention to the fact that
the society's programme will be found
in another part of our paper.

sparrows Made a Blessing.

It is interesting to know, in connection
with the English sparrow nuisance at
Forest park, how these birds are treated
in Germany and made to be a blessing.
Troughs are provided at the caves of the
houses there for the accommodation Of the
birds in building their nests. When the
young sparrows are hatched and the
mother goes out to procure food for them
wire screens are placed over them, with
interstices large enough to permit the
passage of food to the younglings, but too
small to allow them to escape from the
nests. AS soon as they have grown large
and plump they are killed, and they make
a very desirable article Of food. Globe
